How to Take Advantage of Starting Fresh in Spring

The Spring season is upon us and with it comes the possibility of a new start. Take advantage of the growth and revitalization that comes naturally with Spring. If you are feeling lost or want a fresh start, and needing courage and motivation, using the ‘greening’ power of Spring can be very helpful.

I have yet to find a better comparative for the cyclic quality of growing the soul than Mother Nature. She shows us how it is natural to cycle our way; to rest and to work, to be in joy and to be in grief, to be in the dark and to be in the light. It is the practice of the mystic to cultivate acceptance of the ebb and flow of our lives.

The Importance of Asking for Help

There is importance in asking for help. Time and time again I get to say to my clients that asking for help is not always a needy action. It is very often a sign of healthy independence. Having the belief that asking for help is a sign of weakness, is problematic for compassionate soul growth. When your self esteem is bright and shiny, asking for help is part of health. Know that when your self confidence is grounded, you know that reaching for the perfection of being able to manage life’s tangles all your own is a myth.

Growing Fear and Aging

One of my subscribers (and old time friend :)), Kat, commented on my last blog post: “ … I find that the older I get the more fearful I become. I wonder if it’s part of the aging process.” This wondering has sparked my curiosity for a long time. I think it was from reading The Soul’s Code by James Hillman that my own inquiry started. If I remember correctly he posits that when we become elderly our so called ‘social veneer’ lifts and what we are left with to participate in the world with is our true character. So if what we have presented with in our lives consists of a character mantle that covers unfinished personal work, we then are faced with the uncomfortable truths at the end of our lives that we didn’t work on before.

being curious about your strong desires

As many of you may know, I have dedicated a lot of my energy, curiosity and love to The Inner Yaga Foundation. It is a foundation that is dedicated to inviting women into life acceptance by encouraging peer run circles that are made safe to practice vulnerability by providing an agreed upon structure.

We had our Fall Training in mid October. This training, as last year’s, was profound for me. As the Weekend Coordinator, the experience of being the center of the ‘hive mind’ of such a collaborative group of women filled me with awe, hope, gratitude, trust and faith.
